Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 96 Young Battlefield

In the first half of the quarter, the offensive success rate of the two teams was extremely high. At least in terms of shooting percentage, the two teams were almost the same, but from the point of view of the score, the Nets temporarily led by 4 points 19 to 15. The reason is very simple. The team took advantage of Carter's advantages over Glenn Davis, range and footwork, and hit two three-pointers.

Although the overall situation is in a balance, Jiang Mingliang can see that the rhythm of the game is actually in the hands of the Nets. The acceleration of the offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides is undoubtedly more beneficial to the Nets.

During the timeout, Rivers repeatedly told Rondo that the rhythm of the game must be suppressed. The Celtics, who built their team around defense, did not need to run wildly with the Nets. At the same time, they made substitution adjustments. Len Davis enters.

In the past two games, in order to preserve the physical fitness of the veteran, the Celtics generally adjusted to replace Garnett first, and then let Glenn Davis rest. However, this game is still behind, and Glenn Davis was deliberately targeted by the Nets, forcing the Celtics to change their original rotation plan.

For the small lineup of the Nets, it must be targeted from the offensive end. The former All-Star power forward O'Neal Jr. has a richer arsenal than Glenn Davis. On the defensive end, Jermaine O'Neal is on the inside, and Garnett can go out to fill in properly without worrying about a vacuum in the inside, which will be used by Bledsoe and George.

Rivers' adjustment had obvious results. In two minutes, the Celtics beat the Nets 6-2 to tie the score.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Stevens had to make substitution adjustments. Whiteside came on and Korver went off.

In the past three offenses in the past two minutes, Korver made a three-pointer and a long-range two-pointer, none of which were hit. So far in the first quarter, Korver's 0-for-4 shooting rate is really not good.

Not just this game, in the entire series, Korver was in no state under the restrictions of Ray Allen. He averaged 11.2 points per game in the regular season and Korver made 41% of his three-pointers. Completely evaporated, leaving only a body that cannot be thrown in and cannot be defended. There is no doubt that in the playoffs, Korver cannot afford the position of the Nets' starting shooting guard.

Facts have proved that Stevens' use of Whiteside is extremely correct. A notable characteristic of this potential insider is emotional. When he is in high spirits, double-doubles in a single quarter are not accidental, otherwise, he is a headless fly.

How to make his emotions high, Stevens' choice is to let him face the opponent's substitute players first, and give him enough psychological hints before challenging the opponent's starter.

In the face of Garnett, who has suffered a serious loss of physical strength, and O'Neal, who is no longer as good as before due to continuous injuries, Whiteside played the courage of a newborn calf, and his appearance brought a different situation to the Nets. If Garnett, who is full of physical strength, is the point that the Nets are unable to deal with, then Stevens' Tianji horse racing combined with Whiteside's crazy physique also really makes the Celtics feel uncomfortable.

Pick melons from the back of Garnett's head, and then send a back button. Whiteside's performance ignited the fans in the audience, and even attracted Garnett to elbow in the next round of offense and get a physical foul.

That is to say, Garnett's big name has face. If he were replaced by someone else, he might be asked to play directly. Seeing this, Rivers quickly replaced Garnett to prevent him from making a stronger response, and at the same time allowed the veteran to get a certain amount of rest time.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led by four points at 29:25.

The fantasy drift of Da Baibian continued in the second quarter. The Celtics lost Perkins one after another. O'Neal's shortcomings began to show. Garnett was not on the court. None of the remaining three could solve Whiteside's point. , Watching the performance of this second-round pick dominating rebounds, people can't help but think of the red-haired power forward in the comics. George, Bledsoe and other outsiders have not enjoyed the feeling of partnering with a super insider for a season, and they really experienced it in the second quarter.

This taste is super cool!

After a wave of 12:0 attacks, the Nets widened the point difference to 19 points. It seems that the Nets have taken the absolute initiative.

However, during the timeout, Stevens kept reminding his players to be calm.

"In the 2008 Finals, the Lakers' huge lead was overturned by the Celtics. Don't underestimate the resilience of these veterans!" Stevens shouted hoarsely. At this moment, I don't care about the image at all.

Although the youngsters in the team have different positions and different styles of play, there are not a few of them who are Kobe fans, and they are all deeply impressed by the Celtics' epic comeback in Game 4 of the 2008 Finals.

"Don't think that we are young and have a future. If you can't grasp the present, how can you imagine your future!"

The team that was swept in the playoffs is not worthy to talk about the future!

The reason why he is so nervous about this game is because Stevens can see that if he loses this game today, the Nets will really be swept away. Even pessimistically speaking, Stevens has realized that this game may be the only hope for the Nets to win a game in this year's playoffs.

The performance of Korver and Anderson in the playoffs proved that they are just regular season players, and they are absolutely unreliable in the playoffs. The loss of Lopez's injured team is not just a starting center. People like Bledsoe and George are too young.

Sure enough, in the third game, the Celtics began to counterattack frantically. Unlike other teams that try to send players with strong scoring ability to chase points when they are behind by a large score, the Celtics still chase points from the defensive end. From the beginning, on the offensive end, it is also fully executed according to tactics, and the time consumed for each attack is close to 20 seconds.

Pierce took the dominance of the ball from Rondo. Although Rondo is known for his arrogance, he dared not make mistakes in the face of Garnett and Pierce. Under the control of Pierce's rhythm, The Celtics' offensive shooting percentage has improved, but on the defensive end, Pierce continued to stalk George, making the super rookie very uncomfortable.

Compared with Garnett, who supports the entire team's defensive system, and must devote himself to the game for a long time, Pierce has more opportunities to stay in the game. When he is needed to play, he never lets people disappointment.

Leanback jumper, three-point long-range shot, use the body to half-push and half-roll to the inside line for a layup, turn around and shoot after post-up singles. Regardless of the gap in the butt, Pierce is really not as good as Anthony in terms of offensive methods.

In the third quarter, the Celtics brought the point difference back to 12 points, and the point difference was pulled back to single digits.
